I love water and always have a big tumbler of it wherever I am. Bella always has fresh water as well. Yet, whenever I glance over at my glass of water she has her big old beautiful head in my glass!! Drinking my water!!! What's that all about? Why is my glass of water more refreshing than her bowl of water? I personally don't mind at all. I think everything she does is precious, but it's alittle uncomfortable when I have company over to visit. I have to suggest that they keep the water in the bottle and not in a glass

Elliott used to do this all the time before I got the water fountain, but with the water fountain I haven't noticed him try it in quite some time.

OMG! I couldn't help but giggle reading this! Maia has two glasses of water set out for her to drink from aside from her water dish, and all are changed daily! Both are set in places I use to put my glass of water but then realized it was her glass of water, not mine
. She definitely prefers to drink from a glass of water then her water bowl
. No idea why but what makes her happy makes me happy. It reminds me of the movie Signs, when the little girl always wants a fresh glass of water because of amoebas or contamination............makes me laugh

Callie does this all the time! I don't know what's so attractive about MY glass of water, but it's the preferred receptacle to drink from. She has 2 bowls, the tap in the bathtub, and 2 glasses of water in the bathroom to drink from, but she prefers MINE!

Holland does that ALL the time! She has 3 bowls of fresh water at all times, including her fountain, but whenever I have a glass of water she just helps herself.
It doesn't bother me at all except for when she sneezes into it... Then I get myself a fresh glass.

Panther and Cheetah do that all the time. I have a bowl of water for them, and since they eat raw food, they have been drinking a lot less than when they were having dry food.

They like my bowl-like Winnie-the-Pooh mug in particular. Even if they are not that thirsty, they will just go taste my water. Now I am thinking of giving up my mug......
